Or OTHER WISE,

FASHIONABLE Or OTEEEKgEESE.
JEWELLERS are now cleaning many
Of their ideas from the domain Of
sports and amusements, and can Of
fer to every amateur something to
his mind.
A NET in oxydized silver, contain
ing crab in gold applied work, and
an oxydized leaf on which is perched
frog in gold, are novelties worthy Of
| mention.
RUSSIAN cross stitch is one of the
| most effective trimmings for washable
costumes. The embroidery Is done
by machine, and is on cotton eta
mine.
CHOCOLATE brown, with O. light
shade Of heliotrope is a. combination
seen in some Partisan costumes and
millinery, but it is more novel than
beautiful.
A SASH of two colors is one Of the
seasons novelties. One-half is Of one
color and the other is a contrasting
shade, fastened together by pretty
buckle
CORDUROY for petticoats is still one
of the favorite styles this season. A
bright red corduroy skirt with an
overdress OF some pretty biscuit color
Is one Of the prettiest costumes imag-
Unable for q young girl.
GOLD thread embroidery is much
used on linen and when it is real bull
ion it has wearing and washing quail
tiles which make it we'll worth any
labor spent in working it.
THE new designs from the Royal
School at South Kensington have the
rose, the shamrock and the thistle in
terwoven in graceful manner. This is
called the jubilee design.
WASH costumes will replace those
Of WOODEN very generally as the sum-
mer comes on and are quite as elabor-
ately finished as those Of expensive
material. Ginghams lead in the wash
fabrics.
INEXPENSIVE small watches are set
in the back of tortoise shell card cases,
and are quite the rage as wedding
presents. They enable the wearer to
see the time during call without tax
ing out her watch.
THE solid black percales, with mar
row white stripes, set three inches
apart, are the most stylish of the
many choice selections in fine black
and white cotton goods. A sort of
changeable check of white on black,
in woven bars, is another choice pat
tern.
LAST years foulard cottons can be
renewed by sewing strips of velvet
ribbon on the back and front Of the COR
sage so as to meet and end in sharp
point about the middle OF the back,
like deep yoke; and by setting a.
pointed velvet epaulette as ''cap"
to each sleeve.
A FLEXIBLE link bracelet, just in
troduced, called the "plaque brace
let," consists Of number OF square
links, the surface of each representing
loose knot formed of from two to
six strands. They are made in gold
and oxydized silver, and in both plain
and chased finish.
SOME Of the long cloaks with hoods
are gracefully held in place by buttons
at the back, or with fancy gimp orna-
ments, SO that the fullness Of the
skirt is caught up IN an easy manner.
A few cloaks have large colored silk
kerchiefs arranged in lieu of hoods,
with the point down the back, and
the ends turned over each other in
front.
A CHECKED India silk is displayed to
good effect with gauged headings to
it's narrow founces and gaugings on
the shoulders to confne chs crossed
pieces that cover almost all the whole
front Of the corsage. Sometimes only
the square apron overskirt is deeply
gagged near the foot, leaving the low
or portion to stand out like g. quaint
frill.
SOME pretty parasols are covered
with let, over which, close together,
are rows of narrow ribbon, starting
from the point, and carried to the
ribs, SO that the foundation net is
only seen between. They are edged
with frill Of lace, and inside is puff
fng of the net. White is pretty and
SO is cream. This design Is made in
two colors to match any costume, Or
in one tone only.
THE English turben Of dark smooth
straw, with low front trimming, is the
fashionable choice Of round hats for
young ladies to wear in the morning
IN city streets or driving. A large
rosette OF white lace or ribbon, with
q gilt shell on pin thrust through it,
aud q band and facing OF velvet, are
its trimmings. When used for travel
ing the lace is omitted, and there are
rosettes OF braid or loops OF velvet
ribbon.
THE number OF shades in white are
quite a study. To wear with green,
for instance, there comes q grayish
white in pilot cloth for skirts, that
harmonizes with the upper dress OF
green. The "blotting paper white"
has just g. trace of the lilac in it, not
enough to call it shade, but giving
transparent instead of solid effect
to the grenadines, gauzes, and crepe
lines that have this tint for ground
under those figured or checked pat
terms.
